How Much Is That Doggie In The Window?

I instantly fell in love with a beautiful brindle boy. I spent quiet time with him in a little cubicle. My heart melted when I stood up from the bench seat and he grabbed the hem of my jeans and shook playfully with some obvious strength.

I wish I had never walked into that store.

How can any puppy have a price tag of $3600.00? And why?

He deserves a good family, someone to love, and someone to return his devotion.

He does not deserve to live in a cage, to travel to some strange place at a young age, to eventually be sold to a person with no background check, no thought on how he will be treated, no questions asked, as long as money is passed over the table (or, even worse, financing at 20.97% is approved).

No animal deserves that.

I was passing time when I walked into the pet store. I truly regret it. I do not grieve for not buying the puppy, I just cannot get him out of my mind (nor the other doggies in their crates behind glass). I hope good homes are in their future.

My brother loves bulldog’s, he has a little stone one and he has a key ring as well and I got him a book at a dog show with an old neighbor and some of her friend’s and I also got him a bookmark. Of course he lives in GA now!

arfarf — Mary, he’s calling your name! Honestly, I try not to go into vet offices, pet stores, even visit people on the curb selling their animals. Just can’t walk away. Tonight, Brin and I visited Mary at her work; there was a big, friendly tomcat named Tom roaming around the front of the store. Tom’s their resident cat who keeps the mice at bay on the outside. Even though he’s very well fed, I wanted to scoop him up and bring him home. Such a great cat!
I can’t figure why those stores charge so much for a dog.
